Seer, Like Doug was saying The chances of hitting a shock in a V6 Montero are slim to none, as far as comparing to the rover..alot more than vehicle wieght has to be factored in like the angle that the shock is mounted in relation to the axle. On V6 Montero's the rear shocks are mounted close to a 40 degree angle towards the front which allows for a great deal of wheel travel with a relatively short throw shock. This means the shock has to be alot "stiffer" in order to provide the same amount of dampening that an upright mounted shock would. I feel that a smaller piston of a twin tube just wont provide the dampening that a Montero needs. Too large a diameter shock will also get pinched by the trailing arm during extreme articulation(just like my monroes did). As for the front..C'mon are you really gonna compare a solid axle rover to the IFS Montero?? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> For washboard roads I agree the OME's are probably nice, but for technical trails and on road control Monotube is the way to go in my book.
